Catherine Tate Show to tour UK

'The Catherine Tate Show' is set to tour the UK.

The award-winning comedian, who co-wrote and starred in the series from 2004 until 2006, will unite some of her famous alter-egos - including Joanie 'Nan' Taylor, Irish nurse Bernie, Geordie Georgie and Essex girl Sam - as she takes the belly-laughing comedy on the road this autumn.

The 21-date tour will also see the resurrection of bolshie teenager Lauren Cooper - known for her famous catch phrases, 'Am I bovvered' and 'Whatever' - after she was dramatically killed off in a kayaking accident in 2007.

The on-the-road gig will kick off at Manchester's 02 Apollo on November 1, before wrapping up in Bristol on December 3.
